Christine Jervis accepted into master's degree program through Miami University's Project Dragonfly

2017 May 10

Portland, Ore., resident Christine Jervis was recently accepted into the Global Field Program (GFP) and will be taking classes toward a Master of Arts degree in Biology from Miami University through Project Dragonfly.

Because coursework for Project Dragonfly's GFP occurs on the web and at field sites internationally, students live throughout the country and world. As a first-year GFP student, Jervis will complete web-based courses exploring biodiversity, conservation science and community and the relationship of biology with technology. In Summer 2017, Jervis will also travel to Baja to study the desert and marine landscapes of two richly diverse biosphere reserves through ecological and social field methods.

Jervis works as a camp liaison at Oregon Zoo.

Miami University's Project Dragonfly reaches millions of people each year through inquiry-driven learning media, public exhibits and graduate programs worldwide. Project Dragonfly is based in the department of biology at Miami University, a state university in Oxford, Ohio. Miami was established in 1809 and is listed as one of the eight original Public Ivies.
